When I travel I normally eat club sandwiches or I bring my own food. When you go into a new town, it's very had to find a good place to eat.

We didn't do wrong things because we didn't want to embarrass our parents.

When the taste changes with every bite and the last bite tastes as good as the first, that's Cajun.

Some people absorb in different ways. I didn't realize until I was 15 years old how much I retained.

In '71 or '72 I returned to New Orleans and stayed there. I started cooking Louisiana food. Of all the things I had cooked, it was the best-and it was my heritage.

We closed the restaurant in New Orleans and brought the entire staff to San Francisco. But we had to go home.

We trust something in a grocery store and assume it's good. We don't learn about the most precious thing in life-the food we put in our body. Educate yourself!
